In this project, we investigated the curing behaviour of DAPCO 18-4F, a silicone based sealant used in the aerospace industry. Through this, we hope to find out the optimum sealant-to-hardener ratio, a suitable kinetic model for the curing behaviour and also kinetic parameters involved in the curi...
